Brian Goodison-Blanks previews the Two Day Sporting & Collectors Auction that
is being held on 16th/17th November 2016 in our Exeter Saleroom Complex. The sale
has a strong militaria, antique weapons and firearms section as well as some interesting
vintage textiles and costumes.

Daniel Goddard, Head of the Picture Department, talks about the recent
private collection sold at auction for £80,000 and provides some background to the
early 20th Century artists whose work was featured in it.

Daniel Goddard reflects on how trendy retro-vintage is becoming on
a recent stroll
through Exeter on the way to the cinema, noting the firm's recent highly succesful
vintage cloth, jewellery and luggage sale and comments on a kitsch/vintage/retro
alarm clock that recently caught his eye.

Nic Saintey writes about cow creamers, covering their introduction
in the first
half of the Eighteenth Century through to their fall from grace, implicated in the
cholera epidemics that affected Sunderland and East London from the early 1830s.
